I'm a small girl, with Big dreams, and an even bigger God on her side!😍
See that phone in my hands? That's where I restarted my Online Counseling practice. I had to give up on my dreams about 4 years ago, because my husband didn't believe in them and told me to choose between my dreams and our marriage. Eventually, I had to choose myself.
I did my second counseling certification course on that phone. Then last year in May 2022, I started offering my Online Counseling Services using that phone. I wrote articles to promote my services, and wrote books, using this same phone. Now, within a year of offering these services, I have people in my data base from Zambia, Botswana, China, UK, Australia, Caribbean islands, Canada and USA. My practice is growing, by God's grace.
As a Life Coach, when I tell you that you can and should begin where you are at, this what I mean. All things are possible to him who believes! Don't EVER let ANYONE take away your dreams and ambitions. Ever!! They matter. YOU matter!! Your story is important. There's someone out there, or right in front of you, who needs to hear it.
Just about a year ago now, I made the decision to leave my husband. To say it's been hard would be the understatement of the century! I even came on this platform, and many others, asking for help, because after I told him my decision, he decided to stop paying for my rentals, in spite of him knowing that I had no source of income at the time.
But I figured I was worth fighting for, because I believe that my dreams matter; that my purpose in life matters; and that my voice and my opinion are very important, because I was born to make an impact. But I can't make that impact if I have no voice and I allow my dreams to be belittled, undermined and even discarded.
You see, I was in an extremely Emotionally Neglectful marriage and my husband, among many other things, had literally told me to choose between my dreams and the marriage. Initially, I chose the marriage. I had hoped that my sacrifice would be enough to help heal our marriage. But it wasn't. Instead things kept getting worse, and my husband kept demanding more and more of me.
I look at this☝🏾 picture and I get so emotional 😭😭😭. For me to get to this place, I had to choose myself! If I hadn't, I wouldn't be here right now, bursting with dreams and HOPE for me and my children's future.
Just a year ago, this☝🏾was me. I had lost so much weight , I could hardly recognize myself! Trying really hard to look and feel normal, but my body kept telling me how bad things were.
I eventually ended up in hospital, needing a blood transfusion. My body had finally given up the fight. It couldn't take the stress anymore. This was my greatest wake up call, and I didn't look back after that.
I started running my Online Counseling Services; I moved in with my mother, as extremely uncomfortable as that was; I began speaking up about Emotional Neglect in marriages, which eventually opened up the way for me to start getting clients from all over the world.
From being dead broke busted and disgusted, to earning a reasonable income while living my dream of helping others is definitely worth it!!
So if you're in an Emotionally Neglectful marriage, and you've tried to get your partner to hear you, but to no avail. Take heart! There's hope for you yet. Your life doesn't have to end, nor do you have to live in pretence for the rest of your life.
You can make it!!
God's got you, and you're NEVER alone.
Don't EVER let ANYONE take away your dreams and ambitions. Ever!! They matter. YOU matter!! Your story is important. There's someone out there, or right in front of you, waiting to hear it❣️.
Do get in touch, and I'll be more than happy to walk this road with you.
